- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a molding device 10 (a manufacturing device of a molded resin article) used in a molding method (a manufacturing method of a molded resin article) according to a first embodiment.
- Figs. 2 to 6 are schematic views showing each step of the molding method according to the first embodiment.
- the molding device 10 includes a mold 1, a perforation pin 2, a driving mechanism 3, and a control section 4.
- the mold 1 is a mold for injection molding and includes a first mold 11 and a second mold 12.
- a cavity 13 is provided between the first mold 11 and the second mold 12.
- the cavity 13 has a shape corresponding to the molded resin article 20 to be manufactured (see Fig. 6 ).
- An inner surface 11a of the first mold 11 and an inner surface 12a of the second mold 12 face each other with the cavity 13 interposed therebetween.
- a thickness direction of the cavity 13 (vertical direction in Fig. 1 ) is also referred to as a Z direction.
- the first mold 11 has an insertion hole 15 through which the perforation pin 2 is inserted.
- the inner surface 11a of the first mold 11 faces the cavity 13.
- the inner surface 11a has a shape conforming to a first surface 20a of the molded resin article 20 (see Fig. 6 ).
- the inner surface 12a of the second mold 12 faces the cavity 13.
- the inner surface 12a has a shape conforming to a second surface 20b of the molded resin article 20 (see Fig. 6 ).
- the second surface 20b is a surface opposite to the first surface 20a of the molded resin article 20.
- the perforation pin 2 may have a columnar shape having a central axis along the thickness direction (Z direction) of the cavity 13, for example, a columnar shape, a prismatic shape (a quadrangular prism shape, a triangular prism shape, or the like).
- a length direction of the perforation pin 2 (perforation member) faces the thickness direction (vertical direction in Fig. 1 ) (Z direction) of the cavity 13.
- the perforation pin 2 is inserted through the insertion hole 15.
- the perforation pin 2 is configured such that a portion 2b including a leading end 2a can protrude with respect to the cavity 13 of the mold 1.
- the perforation pin 2 is movable in the length direction (vertical direction in Fig. 1 ) (Z direction). Accordingly, the perforation pin 2 is configured to be able to protrude with respect to the cavity 13 of the mold 1.
- the perforation pin 2 can be provided at a position (non-protruding position) where the perforation pin does not protrude from the inner surface 11a into the cavity 13 (see Fig. 1 ), or can be provided at a position (protruding position) where the portion 2b including the leading end 2a protrudes from the inner surface 11a into the cavity 13 (see Figs. 2 to 5 ). At the most lowered position (most protruding position), the leading end 2a of the perforation pin 2 comes into contact with the inner surface 12a of the second mold 12 (see Fig. 5 ).
- a distance of the cavity 13 in the thickness direction (vertical direction in Fig. 2 ) (Z direction) is referred to as a "total thickness T".
- the total thickness T is a dimension of the cavity 13 in a protruding direction of the perforation pin 2 (vertical direction in Fig. 2 ).
- the thickness dimension of the cavity at the leading end 2a of the perforation pin 2, that is, a distance between the leading end 2a and the inner surface 12a in the Z direction (vertical direction in Fig. 2 ) is referred to as a "thickness t".
- Thiickness t/total thickness T is referred to as a "thickness ratio".
- the thickness t when the perforation pin 2 is at the non-protruding position, the thickness t is equal to the total thickness T, and thus the thickness ratio is 1. As shown in Fig. 5 , when the perforation pin 2 is at the most protruding position, the thickness t is zero, and thus the thickness ratio is zero.
- the driving mechanism 3 is, for example, a motor or the like, and can move the perforation pin 2 in a protruding direction (downward in Fig. 1 ) and in the opposite direction thereof.
- the control section 4 can drive the driving mechanism 3 based on position information of the perforation pin 2 detected by a sensor (for example, an optical sensor) (not shown), and control a length of the perforation pin 2 in the protruding direction (the protrusion dimension from the inner surface 11a).
- a sensor for example, an optical sensor
- the perforation pin 2 is at a non-protruding position (position not protruding from the inner surface 11a into the cavity 13).
- the protrusion length of the perforation pin 2 is referred to as "L".
- the protrusion length L is a dimension from the inner surface 11a of the first mold 11 to the leading end 2a of the perforation pin 2 in the Z direction (thickness direction of the cavity 13).
- the protrusion length L of the perforation pin 2 in the first step is "L1".
- the protrusion length L1 of the perforation pin 2 in the first step is smaller than the total thickness T of the cavity 13. Therefore, the leading end 2a of the perforation pin 2 does not reach the inner surface 12a of the second mold 12.
- the protrusion length L1 is 25% to 40% of the total thickness T.
- the pressing weight can be reduced when making the perforation pin 2 further protrude in the third step which will be described later.
- the protrusion length L1 is 40% or less of the total thickness T, formation of a weld line in the molded resin article 20 (see Fig. 6 ) can be prevented.
- a molten resin 16 is introduced (injected) into the cavity 13 of the mold 1 from a resin introduction hole 1a.
- An introduction direction of the resin 16 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, a direction that intersects the Z direction (protruding direction of the perforation pin 2).
- the introduction direction of the resin 16 is a direction orthogonal to the Z direction.
- thermoplastic resin a thermoplastic resin is preferable.
- the thermoplastic resin include polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyphenylenesulfide (PPS), polyimide (PI), polyethersulfone (PES), aromatic polyamide (PA), and polyamideimide (PAI).
- the resin 16 may be a fiber reinforcing resin.
- the fiber reinforcing resin for example, a carbon fiber reinforcing resin, a glass fiber reinforcing resin, or the like can be used.
- a tensile strength (for example, based on ASTM D638) of the molded resin article made of the resin 16 is, for example, 90 MPa or more (for example, 90 MPa to 262 MPa).
- Figs. 7 to 10 are process diagrams showing the details of the second step, and are schematic views showing a flow of the resin 16 seen from a direction parallel to the Z direction.
- the resin 16 that has reached the perforation pin 2 is divided into a plurality of directions, goes around the perforation pin 2 and joins.
- a joining angle in a case where a resin flow 17A in a direction around one axis of the perforation pin 2 and a resin flow 17B in a direction around the other axis of the perforation pin 2 joins on a side of a back surface 2c of the perforation pin 2 is referred to as " ⁇ ".
- the joining angle ⁇ is, for example, an angle formed by surfaces of the resin flows 17A and 17B that joins on the back surface 2c at the same height position as the inner surface 11a (see Figs. 3 and 4 ).
- the resin 16 flows including the protruding part of the perforation pin 2, and is filled in the cavity 13 as shown in Fig. 4 .
- the protrusion length L1 of the perforation pin 2 is short, a weld line is not easily formed.
- the reason that the weld line is not easily formed can be assumed as follows. Since the protrusion length L1 of the perforation pin 2 is short, the resin 16 that has come into contact with the perforation pin 2 is not only easily divided in the direction around the axis of the perforation pin 2, but also in other directions (for example, direction going around the back surface 2c from the leading end side of the perforation pin 2). For this reason, the resin flows in many directions join on the back surface 2c of the perforation pin 2, and therefore, the joining angle ⁇ shown in Fig. 8 is easily increased. If the joining angle ⁇ is large, a weld line is hardly formed. For example, if the joining angle ⁇ is 135° or more, a weld line is hardly formed.
- the driving mechanism 3 is operated by the control section 4 to further protrude the perforation pin 2. That is, the protrusion length L of the perforation pin 2 is set as a protrusion length L2 longer than the protrusion length L1 (see Fig. 4 ).
- the protrusion length L2 is equal to the total thickness T of the cavity 13.
- the perforation pin 2 is positioned at the most lowered position (most protruding position), and the leading end 2a comes into contact with the inner surface 12a of the second mold 12. Therefore, the perforation pin 2 penetrates the resin 16.
- a movement distance of the perforation pin 2 to the most protruding position when making the perforation pin 2 protrude is smaller than a movement distance of the perforation pin 2 from the non-protruding position (see Fig. 1 ) to the most protruding position. Therefore, the pressing weight when the perforation pin 2 is pushed into the resin 16 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easy to form the through-hole 18 (see Fig. 6 ) by the perforation pin 2. In addition, since the pressing weight can be reduced, a small-sized driving mechanism 3 with a low output can be used. Therefore, a problem hardly occurs in the installation of the driving mechanism 3.
- the resin 16 (see Fig. 5 ) is cured by cooling or the like.
- the resin 16 may be cooled using a coolant such as water or air, or may be allowed to cool.
- the cured resin 16 becomes the molded resin article 20.
- the molded resin article 20 is taken out of the mold 1.
- the perforation pin 2 is extracted from the molded resin article 20. In the molded resin article 20, the portion where the perforation pin 2 was located becomes the through-hole 18.
- the cavity 13 is filled with the resin 16 in a state where the perforation pin 2 is protruded (see Figs. 3 and 4 ) in the second step, and the perforation pin 2 is further protruded in the third step (see Fig. 5 ). Accordingly, the movement distance of the perforation pin 2 in the third step can be reduced, and the pressing weight when the perforation pin 2 is pushed into the resin 16 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easy to manufacture the molded resin article 20 having the through-holes 18 (see Fig. 6 ). In addition, since the pressing weight can be reduced, a small-sized driving mechanism 3 with a low output can be used, so that a problem hardly occurs in the installation of the driving mechanism 3. Thus, the molded resin article 20 can be easily manufactured.
- the perforation pin 2 penetrates the resin 16 in the third step, so that the molded resin article 20 having the through-hole 18 can be easily manufactured.
- the molding device 10 includes the control section 4, the pressing weight of the perforation pin 2 is suppressed by making the perforation pin 2 protrude in two stages, and the molded resin article 20 is easily manufactured.
- the molding device 10 can set the protrusion length L1 of the perforation pin 2 in the first step to be short by the control section 4, so that the weld line can be prevented.
- Fig. 11 is a schematic view of a molding device 110 used in a molding method according to a second embodiment.
- Figs. 12 to 14 are schematic views showing each step of the molding method according to the second embodiment.
- the molding device 110 includes a mold 101, perforation pins 2A and 2B, driving mechanisms 3A and 3B, and control sections 4A and 4B.
- the mold 101 is a mold for injection molding and includes a first mold 111 and a second mold 112.
- a cavity 13 is provided between the first mold 111 and the second mold 112.
- An inner surface 111a of the first mold 111 and an inner surface 112a of the second mold 112 face each other with the cavity 13 interposed therebetween.
- the first mold 111 has an insertion hole 15A through which the first perforation pin 2A is inserted.
- the second mold 112 has an insertion hole 15B through which the second perforation pin 2B is inserted.
- the perforation pins 2A and 2B are movable in the length direction and can protrude with respect to the cavity 13.
- the driving mechanisms 3A and 3B are, for example, motors or the like, and can move the perforation pins 2A and 2B respectively in a protruding direction and in the opposite direction thereof.
- the control sections 4A and 4B can drive the driving mechanism 3 based on position information of the perforation pins 2A and 2B detected by a sensor (not shown), and control a length of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the protruding direction.
- the perforation pins 2A and 2B are at the non-protruding position.
- the driving mechanisms 3A and 3B are operated by the control section 4, and the portions including leading ends of the perforation pins 2A and 2B are protruded into the cavity 13.
- a total of protrusion lengths L3A and L3B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the first step is smaller than the total thickness T of the cavity 13. Accordingly, the leading ends of the perforation pins 2A and 2B do not come into contact each other. It is desirable that the total of the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B is 25% to 40% of the total thickness T. Therefore, the pressing weight in a case of making the perforation pins 2A and 2B protrude in the third step can be reduced, and the formation of the weld line can be prevented.
- the molten resin 16 is introduced (injected) into the cavity 13 of the mold 101 from the resin introduction hole 1a.
- An introduction direction of the resin 16 is, for example, a direction that intersects the Z direction (protruding direction of the perforation pins 2A and 2B) (for example, direction orthogonal to the Z direction).
- the resin 16 includes the protruding parts of the perforation pins 2A and 2B, and is filled in the cavity 13. In this case, since the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B are short, a weld line is not easily formed.
- the driving mechanisms 3A and 3B are operated by the control sections 4A and 4B to further protrude the perforation pins 2A and 2B, in a state where the resin 16 is not cured.
- the leading ends of the perforation pins 2A and 2B come into contact with each other. Therefore, the perforation pins 2A and 2B penetrate the resin 16.
- a total of protrusion lengths L4A and L4B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the third step is greater than the total of the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B.
- the resin 16 is cured by cooling or the like.
- the cured resin 16 becomes the molded resin article 20 (see Fig. 6 ).
- the molded resin article 20 is taken out of the mold 101.
- the perforation pins 2A and 2B are extracted from the molded resin article 20.
- the portion where the perforation pins 2A and 2B were located becomes the through-hole 18 (see Fig. 6 ).
- the cavity 13 is filled with the resin 16 in a state where the perforation pins 2A and 2B are protruded in the second step (see Fig. 13 ), and the perforation pins 2A and 2B are further protruded in the third step (see Fig. 14 ). Therefore, the pressing weight when the perforation pins 2A and 2B are pushed into the resin 16 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easy to manufacture the molded resin article 20 having the through-holes 18 (see Fig. 6 ).
- the movement distance of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the third step (movement distance per perforation pin) can be reduced, compared to that in the molding method of the first embodiment. Therefore, the pressing weight can be reduced.
- the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the second step are short, and accordingly, a weld line is not easily formed.
- the protrusion length of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the second step can be reduced, compared to that in the molding method of the first embodiment. Therefore, a weld line is not easily formed.
- the perforation pins 2A and 2B penetrate the resin 16 in the third step, so that the molded resin article 20 having the through-hole 18 can be easily manufactured.
- the perforation pin 2 has a circular shape (outer diameter of 3.6 mm) when seen from the length direction.
- the driving mechanism 3 made the perforation pin 2 protrude into the cavity 13 (first step).
- the molten resin 16 is introduced into the cavity 13 of the mold 1 (second step).
- the driving mechanism 3 made the perforation pin 2 further protrude (third step).
- the resin 16 was cured, and the molded resin article 20 was taken out of the mold 1 (fourth step).
- the thickness ratio (thickness t/total thickness T in Fig. 2 ) is in a range of 0.25 to 0.75.
- Fig. 15 is a diagram showing a relationship between a pressing weight ratio and a thickness ratio of a perforation pin and a relationship between a joining angle (see Fig. 8 ) of a molten resin and the thickness ratio in an example and comparative examples.
- the "pressing weight ratio” is a ratio "W1/W2" of a pressing weight W1 in the third step and a pressing weight W2 in the third step in the case of the thickness ratio 1 (Comparative Example 1).
- the thickness ratio in a case where the thickness ratio is 0.6 or more, it is considered that a weld line is hardly formed, since the joining angle is 135° or more. Therefore, at least in a range of the thickness ratio of 0.6 to 0.75, it can be said that good results were obtained for both the joining angle in the second step and the pressing weight in the third step.
- the thickness ratio of 0.6 corresponds to that a ratio of the protrusion length of the perforation pin 2 in the first step to the thickness dimension of the cavity 13 is 40%.
- the thickness ratio 0.75 corresponds to the ratio of 25%.
- the perforation pin penetrates the resin in the third step, but the perforation pin may not penetrate the resin. Therefore, the hole formed in the molded resin article may be not a through-hole.
- the perforation pin is protruded in two stages, but the number of stages in which the perforation pin is protruded may be any number of three or more.
- the number of perforation pins used in the molding method of the first embodiment is 1, and the number of perforation pins used in the molding method of the second embodiment is 2, but the number of perforation pins used in resin molding may be any number of 3 or more.
- the number of holes formed in the molded resin article is not limited to one, and may be any number of 2 or more.
- a molded resin article having a hole can be easily manufactured, and a weld line is hardly generated.
Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a molding method and a molding device.
- This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No.
2018-026484 filed on February 16, 2018 - A molded resin article is manufactured by, for example, injection molding. When the molded resin article has a through-hole, the through-hole is formed by a perforation pin provided in a mold. The molten resin introduced into the mold is split into two by the perforation pin and joins on a back surface side of the perforation pin. At the junction, since a resin temperature is slightly decreased, the two resin flows cannot be completely merged, and a weld line may be formed (see, for example, PTL 1). The weld line may cause a decrease in strength of the molded resin article. In addition, the appearance of the molded resin article may be impaired by the weld line.
- In the mold used in the molding method disclosed in PTL 1, the perforation pin can be made to protrude with respect to a cavity by a driving device. In this molding method, after filling the cavity, into which the perforation pin is not protruded, with the molten resin, the perforation pin is protruded into the uncured molten resin to form a through-hole. According to this molding method, in a case where the cavity is filled with the molten resin, the flow of the resin is not hindered by the perforation pin, and accordingly, no weld lines are formed.
- [PTL 1] Japanese Patent No.
2717896 - In a case of manufacturing a thick molded article by using a high-strength resin such as a super engineering plastic (PEEK, PPS, or PI) or a fiber-containing resin (a resin containing a carbon fiber, a glass fiber, or the like), pressing weight of the perforation pin when forming the through-hole in the resin increases, in the molding method disclosed in PTL 1. Therefore, it may be difficult to form a through-hole. In addition, the installation of the driving device may be difficult, since a large-sized driving device is required to drive the perforation pin.
- An object of the invention is to provide a molding method and a molding device which can easily produce a molded resin article having a hole and by which a weld line is hardly generated.
- According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a molding method including a first step of making a perforation pin protrude into a cavity of a mold, a second step of injecting a molten resin and filling the cavity with the molten resin so as to envelop a protruding part of the perforation pin, a third step of making the perforation pin further protrude, in a state where the resin is not cured, and a fourth step of obtaining a molded resin article having a hole by curing the resin and extracting the perforation pin.
- According to the molding method, a movement distance of the perforation pin in the third step can be reduced, and the pressing weight in a case of pressing the perforation pin into the resin can be prevented. Accordingly, it is easy to manufacture a molded resin article having a hole. In addition, since the pressing weight can be reduced, a small-sized driving mechanism with a low output can be used, so that a problem hardly occurs in the installation of the driving mechanism. Therefore, a molded resin article can be easily manufactured.
- According to the molding method, a weld line is difficult to be formed, since the protrusion length of the perforation pin in the second step is short.
- In the first step, a protrusion length of the perforation pin may be 25% to 40% with respect to a dimension of the cavity in a protruding direction of the perforation pin.
- Therefore, the pressing weight in a case of making the perforation pin protrude in the third step can be reduced, and the formation of the weld line can be prevented.
- In the third step, the perforation pin may penetrate the resin.
- Therefore, a molded resin article having a through-hole can be easily manufactured.
- In the molding method, the mold includes a first mold and a second mold facing each other with the cavity interposed therebetween, and in the first step, a plurality of the perforation pins are used, and among the plurality of the perforation pins, a first perforation pin is made to protrude into the cavity from the first mold, and a second perforation pin is made to protrude into the cavity from the second mold.
- According to the molding method, since the plurality of perforation pins are used, the movement distance per perforation pin in the third step can be reduced. Therefore, the pressing weight can be reduced.
- According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a molding device including a mold for injection molding, a perforation pin capable of protruding into a cavity of the mold, a driving mechanism for the perforation pin, and a control section which controls a protrusion length of the perforation pin in the cavity.
- According to the molding device, since the control section is provided, the pressing weight of the perforation pin is prevented by making the perforation pin protrude in a plurality of stages, thereby facilitating the manufacturing of the molded resin article. The molding device can set the protrusion length of the perforation pin in the first step to be short, thereby preventing a weld line.
- According to one aspect of the invention, a molded resin article having a hole can be easily manufactured, and a weld line is hardly generated.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a molding device 10 (a manufacturing device of a molded resin article) used in a molding method (a manufacturing method of a molded resin article) according to a first embodiment.Figs. 2 to 6 are schematic views showing each step of the molding method according to the first embodiment. - As shown in
Fig. 1 , themolding device 10 includes a mold 1, aperforation pin 2, adriving mechanism 3, and acontrol section 4. - The mold 1 is a mold for injection molding and includes a
first mold 11 and asecond mold 12. Acavity 13 is provided between thefirst mold 11 and thesecond mold 12. Thecavity 13 has a shape corresponding to the moldedresin article 20 to be manufactured (seeFig. 6 ). Aninner surface 11a of thefirst mold 11 and aninner surface 12a of thesecond mold 12 face each other with thecavity 13 interposed therebetween. A thickness direction of the cavity 13 (vertical direction inFig. 1 ) is also referred to as a Z direction. - The
first mold 11 has aninsertion hole 15 through which theperforation pin 2 is inserted. Theinner surface 11a of thefirst mold 11 faces thecavity 13. Theinner surface 11a has a shape conforming to afirst surface 20a of the molded resin article 20 (seeFig. 6 ). - The
inner surface 12a of thesecond mold 12 faces thecavity 13. Theinner surface 12a has a shape conforming to asecond surface 20b of the molded resin article 20 (seeFig. 6 ). Thesecond surface 20b is a surface opposite to thefirst surface 20a of the moldedresin article 20. - The
perforation pin 2 may have a columnar shape having a central axis along the thickness direction (Z direction) of thecavity 13, for example, a columnar shape, a prismatic shape (a quadrangular prism shape, a triangular prism shape, or the like). A length direction of the perforation pin 2 (perforation member) faces the thickness direction (vertical direction inFig. 1 ) (Z direction) of thecavity 13. Theperforation pin 2 is inserted through theinsertion hole 15. Theperforation pin 2 is configured such that aportion 2b including aleading end 2a can protrude with respect to thecavity 13 of the mold 1. - The
perforation pin 2 is movable in the length direction (vertical direction inFig. 1 ) (Z direction). Accordingly, theperforation pin 2 is configured to be able to protrude with respect to thecavity 13 of the mold 1. Theperforation pin 2 can be provided at a position (non-protruding position) where the perforation pin does not protrude from theinner surface 11a into the cavity 13 (seeFig. 1 ), or can be provided at a position (protruding position) where theportion 2b including theleading end 2a protrudes from theinner surface 11a into the cavity 13 (seeFigs. 2 to 5 ). At the most lowered position (most protruding position), theleading end 2a of theperforation pin 2 comes into contact with theinner surface 12a of the second mold 12 (seeFig. 5 ). - As shown in
Fig. 2 , a distance of thecavity 13 in the thickness direction (vertical direction inFig. 2 ) (Z direction) is referred to as a "total thickness T". The total thickness T is a dimension of thecavity 13 in a protruding direction of the perforation pin 2 (vertical direction inFig. 2 ). The thickness dimension of the cavity at theleading end 2a of theperforation pin 2, that is, a distance between theleading end 2a and theinner surface 12a in the Z direction (vertical direction inFig. 2 ) is referred to as a "thickness t". "Thickness t/total thickness T" is referred to as a "thickness ratio". As shown inFig. 1 , when theperforation pin 2 is at the non-protruding position, the thickness t is equal to the total thickness T, and thus the thickness ratio is 1. As shown inFig. 5 , when theperforation pin 2 is at the most protruding position, the thickness t is zero, and thus the thickness ratio is zero. - The
driving mechanism 3 is, for example, a motor or the like, and can move theperforation pin 2 in a protruding direction (downward inFig. 1 ) and in the opposite direction thereof. - The
control section 4 can drive thedriving mechanism 3 based on position information of theperforation pin 2 detected by a sensor (for example, an optical sensor) (not shown), and control a length of theperforation pin 2 in the protruding direction (the protrusion dimension from theinner surface 11a). - Next, a molding method according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to
Figs. 1 to 6 . - In the
molding device 10 shown inFig. 1 , theperforation pin 2 is at a non-protruding position (position not protruding from theinner surface 11a into the cavity 13). - As shown in
Fig. 2 , thedriving mechanism 3 is operated by thecontrol section 4, and theportion 2b including theleading end 2a of theperforation pin 2 is protruded into thecavity 13. The protrusion length of theperforation pin 2 is referred to as "L". The protrusion length L is a dimension from theinner surface 11a of thefirst mold 11 to theleading end 2a of theperforation pin 2 in the Z direction (thickness direction of the cavity 13). The protrusion length L of theperforation pin 2 in the first step is "L1". - The protrusion length L1 of the
perforation pin 2 in the first step is smaller than the total thickness T of thecavity 13. Therefore, theleading end 2a of theperforation pin 2 does not reach theinner surface 12a of thesecond mold 12. - It is desirable that the protrusion length L1 is 25% to 40% of the total thickness T. When the protrusion length L1 is 25% or more of the total thickness T, the pressing weight can be reduced when making the
perforation pin 2 further protrude in the third step which will be described later. When the protrusion length L1 is 40% or less of the total thickness T, formation of a weld line in the molded resin article 20 (seeFig. 6 ) can be prevented. - As shown in
Figs. 3 and 4 , amolten resin 16 is introduced (injected) into thecavity 13 of the mold 1 from aresin introduction hole 1a. An introduction direction of theresin 16 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, a direction that intersects the Z direction (protruding direction of the perforation pin 2). For example, the introduction direction of theresin 16 is a direction orthogonal to the Z direction. - As the
resin 16, a thermoplastic resin is preferable. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyphenylenesulfide (PPS), polyimide (PI), polyethersulfone (PES), aromatic polyamide (PA), and polyamideimide (PAI). Theresin 16 may be a fiber reinforcing resin. As the fiber reinforcing resin, for example, a carbon fiber reinforcing resin, a glass fiber reinforcing resin, or the like can be used. A tensile strength (for example, based on ASTM D638) of the molded resin article made of theresin 16 is, for example, 90 MPa or more (for example, 90 MPa to 262 MPa). -
Figs. 7 to 10 are process diagrams showing the details of the second step, and are schematic views showing a flow of theresin 16 seen from a direction parallel to the Z direction. As shown inFig. 7 , theresin 16 that has reached theperforation pin 2 is divided into a plurality of directions, goes around theperforation pin 2 and joins. As shown inFig. 8 , a joining angle in a case where aresin flow 17A in a direction around one axis of theperforation pin 2 and aresin flow 17B in a direction around the other axis of theperforation pin 2 joins on a side of aback surface 2c of theperforation pin 2 is referred to as "θ". The joining angle θ is, for example, an angle formed by surfaces of the resin flows 17A and 17B that joins on theback surface 2c at the same height position as theinner surface 11a (seeFigs. 3 and 4 ). - As shown in
Figs. 9 and 10 , theresin 16 flows including the protruding part of theperforation pin 2, and is filled in thecavity 13 as shown inFig. 4 . - As shown in
Figs. 3 and 4 , since the protrusion length L1 of theperforation pin 2 is short, a weld line is not easily formed. The reason that the weld line is not easily formed can be assumed as follows. Since the protrusion length L1 of theperforation pin 2 is short, theresin 16 that has come into contact with theperforation pin 2 is not only easily divided in the direction around the axis of theperforation pin 2, but also in other directions (for example, direction going around theback surface 2c from the leading end side of the perforation pin 2). For this reason, the resin flows in many directions join on theback surface 2c of theperforation pin 2, and therefore, the joining angle θ shown inFig. 8 is easily increased. If the joining angle θ is large, a weld line is hardly formed. For example, if the joining angle θ is 135° or more, a weld line is hardly formed. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , in a state where theresin 16 is not cured, thedriving mechanism 3 is operated by thecontrol section 4 to further protrude theperforation pin 2. That is, the protrusion length L of theperforation pin 2 is set as a protrusion length L2 longer than the protrusion length L1 (seeFig. 4 ). The protrusion length L2 is equal to the total thickness T of thecavity 13. Theperforation pin 2 is positioned at the most lowered position (most protruding position), and theleading end 2a comes into contact with theinner surface 12a of thesecond mold 12. Therefore, theperforation pin 2 penetrates theresin 16. - In this step, a movement distance of the
perforation pin 2 to the most protruding position when making theperforation pin 2 protrude is smaller than a movement distance of theperforation pin 2 from the non-protruding position (seeFig. 1 ) to the most protruding position. Therefore, the pressing weight when theperforation pin 2 is pushed into theresin 16 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easy to form the through-hole 18 (seeFig. 6 ) by theperforation pin 2. In addition, since the pressing weight can be reduced, a small-sized driving mechanism 3 with a low output can be used. Therefore, a problem hardly occurs in the installation of thedriving mechanism 3. - As shown in
Fig. 6 , the resin 16 (seeFig. 5 ) is cured by cooling or the like. Theresin 16 may be cooled using a coolant such as water or air, or may be allowed to cool. The curedresin 16 becomes the moldedresin article 20. The moldedresin article 20 is taken out of the mold 1. Theperforation pin 2 is extracted from the moldedresin article 20. In the moldedresin article 20, the portion where theperforation pin 2 was located becomes the through-hole 18. - According to the molding method of the first embodiment, the
cavity 13 is filled with theresin 16 in a state where theperforation pin 2 is protruded (seeFigs. 3 and 4 ) in the second step, and theperforation pin 2 is further protruded in the third step (seeFig. 5 ). Accordingly, the movement distance of theperforation pin 2 in the third step can be reduced, and the pressing weight when theperforation pin 2 is pushed into theresin 16 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easy to manufacture the moldedresin article 20 having the through-holes 18 (seeFig. 6 ). In addition, since the pressing weight can be reduced, a small-sized driving mechanism 3 with a low output can be used, so that a problem hardly occurs in the installation of thedriving mechanism 3. Thus, the moldedresin article 20 can be easily manufactured. - According to the molding method of the first embodiment, since the protrusion length L1 (see
Figs. 3 and 4 ) of theperforation pin 2 in the second step is short, a weld line is not easily formed as described above. - In the molding method of the first embodiment, the
perforation pin 2 penetrates theresin 16 in the third step, so that the moldedresin article 20 having the through-hole 18 can be easily manufactured. - Since the
molding device 10 includes thecontrol section 4, the pressing weight of theperforation pin 2 is suppressed by making theperforation pin 2 protrude in two stages, and the moldedresin article 20 is easily manufactured. Themolding device 10 can set the protrusion length L1 of theperforation pin 2 in the first step to be short by thecontrol section 4, so that the weld line can be prevented. -
Fig. 11 is a schematic view of amolding device 110 used in a molding method according to a second embodiment.Figs. 12 to 14 are schematic views showing each step of the molding method according to the second embodiment. - The
molding device 110 includes amold 101, perforation pins 2A and 2B, drivingmechanisms control sections - The
mold 101 is a mold for injection molding and includes afirst mold 111 and asecond mold 112. Acavity 13 is provided between thefirst mold 111 and thesecond mold 112. Aninner surface 111a of thefirst mold 111 and aninner surface 112a of thesecond mold 112 face each other with thecavity 13 interposed therebetween. Thefirst mold 111 has aninsertion hole 15A through which thefirst perforation pin 2A is inserted. Thesecond mold 112 has aninsertion hole 15B through which thesecond perforation pin 2B is inserted. - The perforation pins 2A and 2B are movable in the length direction and can protrude with respect to the
cavity 13. - The driving
mechanisms - The
control sections driving mechanism 3 based on position information of the perforation pins 2A and 2B detected by a sensor (not shown), and control a length of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the protruding direction. - Next, a molding method according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to
Figs. 11 to 14 . - In the
molding device 110 shown inFig. 11 , the perforation pins 2A and 2B are at the non-protruding position. - As shown in
Fig. 12 , the drivingmechanisms control section 4, and the portions including leading ends of the perforation pins 2A and 2B are protruded into thecavity 13. - A total of protrusion lengths L3A and L3B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the first step is smaller than the total thickness T of the
cavity 13. Accordingly, the leading ends of the perforation pins 2A and 2B do not come into contact each other. It is desirable that the total of the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B is 25% to 40% of the total thickness T. Therefore, the pressing weight in a case of making the perforation pins 2A and 2B protrude in the third step can be reduced, and the formation of the weld line can be prevented. - As shown in
Fig. 13 , themolten resin 16 is introduced (injected) into thecavity 13 of themold 101 from theresin introduction hole 1a. An introduction direction of theresin 16 is, for example, a direction that intersects the Z direction (protruding direction of the perforation pins 2A and 2B) (for example, direction orthogonal to the Z direction). Theresin 16 includes the protruding parts of the perforation pins 2A and 2B, and is filled in thecavity 13. In this case, since the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B are short, a weld line is not easily formed. - As shown in
Fig. 14 , the drivingmechanisms control sections resin 16 is not cured. The leading ends of the perforation pins 2A and 2B come into contact with each other. Therefore, the perforation pins 2A and 2B penetrate theresin 16. A total of protrusion lengths L4A and L4B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the third step is greater than the total of the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B. - The
resin 16 is cured by cooling or the like. The curedresin 16 becomes the molded resin article 20 (seeFig. 6 ). The moldedresin article 20 is taken out of themold 101. The perforation pins 2A and 2B are extracted from the moldedresin article 20. In the moldedresin article 20, the portion where the perforation pins 2A and 2B were located becomes the through-hole 18 (seeFig. 6 ). - According to the molding method of the second embodiment, the
cavity 13 is filled with theresin 16 in a state where the perforation pins 2A and 2B are protruded in the second step (seeFig. 13 ), and the perforation pins 2A and 2B are further protruded in the third step (seeFig. 14 ). Therefore, the pressing weight when the perforation pins 2A and 2B are pushed into theresin 16 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is easy to manufacture the moldedresin article 20 having the through-holes 18 (seeFig. 6 ). - In the molding method of the second embodiment, since two
perforation pins - According to the molding method of the second embodiment, since the protrusion lengths L3A and L3B of the perforation pins 2A and 2B in the second step are short, and accordingly, a weld line is not easily formed. In the molding method of the second embodiment, since two
perforation pins - In the molding method of the second embodiment, the perforation pins 2A and 2B penetrate the
resin 16 in the third step, so that the moldedresin article 20 having the through-hole 18 can be easily manufactured. - As shown below, the pressing weight and the joining angle when manufacturing the molded
resin article 20 by the molding method of the first embodiment were evaluated by using themolding device 10 shown inFig. 1 . Theperforation pin 2 has a circular shape (outer diameter of 3.6 mm) when seen from the length direction. - As shown in
Fig. 2 , thedriving mechanism 3 made theperforation pin 2 protrude into the cavity 13 (first step). As shown inFigs. 3 and 4 , themolten resin 16 is introduced into thecavity 13 of the mold 1 (second step). As shown inFig. 5 , in a state where theresin 16 is not cured, thedriving mechanism 3 made theperforation pin 2 further protrude (third step). As shown inFig. 6 , theresin 16 was cured, and the moldedresin article 20 was taken out of the mold 1 (fourth step). - In the example, the thickness ratio (thickness t/total thickness T in
Fig. 2 ) is in a range of 0.25 to 0.75. - For comparison, the same evaluation test as in the example was performed, except that the
perforation pin 2 was not protruded in the first step (that is, the thickness ratio was set to 1) (Comparative Example 1). In addition, the same evaluation test as in the example was performed, except that theperforation pin 2 was set at the most protruding position in the first step (that is, the thickness ratio was set to zero) (Comparative Example 2). In Comparative Example 2, since theperforation pin 2 is at the most protruding position in the first step, theperforation pin 2 does not move in the third step. -
Fig. 15 is a diagram showing a relationship between a pressing weight ratio and a thickness ratio of a perforation pin and a relationship between a joining angle (seeFig. 8 ) of a molten resin and the thickness ratio in an example and comparative examples. The "pressing weight ratio" is a ratio "W1/W2" of a pressing weight W1 in the third step and a pressing weight W2 in the third step in the case of the thickness ratio 1 (Comparative Example 1). - From
Fig. 15 , it can be said that in the example (thickness ratio of 0.25 to 0.75), the pressing weight is lower than that in Comparative Example 1 (thickness ratio of 1), so that a molded resin article can be easily manufactured. In the example, the joining angle is larger than that in Comparative Example 2 (thickness ratio of zero) . - In particular, in a case where the thickness ratio is 0.6 or more, it is considered that a weld line is hardly formed, since the joining angle is 135° or more. Therefore, at least in a range of the thickness ratio of 0.6 to 0.75, it can be said that good results were obtained for both the joining angle in the second step and the pressing weight in the third step. The thickness ratio of 0.6 corresponds to that a ratio of the protrusion length of the
perforation pin 2 in the first step to the thickness dimension of thecavity 13 is 40%. The thickness ratio 0.75 corresponds to the ratio of 25%. - Hereinabove, the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, but the invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications or changes may be made within the gist of the invention described in the appended claims.
- For example, in the molding methods of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the perforation pin penetrates the resin in the third step, but the perforation pin may not penetrate the resin. Therefore, the hole formed in the molded resin article may be not a through-hole.
- In the molding methods of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the perforation pin is protruded in two stages, but the number of stages in which the perforation pin is protruded may be any number of three or more.
- The number of perforation pins used in the molding method of the first embodiment is 1, and the number of perforation pins used in the molding method of the second embodiment is 2, but the number of perforation pins used in resin molding may be any number of 3 or more. In addition, the number of holes formed in the molded resin article is not limited to one, and may be any number of 2 or more.
- According to the molding method and the molding device described above, a molded resin article having a hole can be easily manufactured, and a weld line is hardly generated.
